He is certifiably NUTS! The Russians will be knocking at the front door of Odessa by summer at the latest. Of the 118,000 strong French Army, how many are fit enough to go up against the toughest, most well trained on the modern battlefield and best equipped army in the world? What this imbecile plans to do is to become enough of threat to force the Russians to fire on the French. After taking a few casualties he can turn and run and let the American boys now drawn in do the fighting and dying.
